Macy’s faced its problems

While reading this article on the reinvention of Macy’s and its stores I gotta admit that it looks to me like the company did the right thing. Store closings and the uncertainty that came with them were hard on everybody and I’m sure that, at some... — read more

The writing has been on the wall for several years now

The writing has been on the wall for several years now. There is no loyalty in brick and mortar retail. Find another job now. Why are people surprised? Or are still in denial? Move on with your life. I left or was laid off from Macy’s 2 years ago... — read more

It is not looking good for next year

No denying layoffs

It’s so funny how management addresses the rumors re building changes but completely passes over lay-off rumors, which are the ones everyone is freaked out about. The truth is members of management have leaked the info and have confirmed that 40-50%... — read more

Thanksgiving Pay

Every year since Macy's has been open on Thanksgiving we've been paid time and 1/2 for working it. I just looked at my paycheck that I will get on 11/30 and I only got straight time. I hope this is an error and not Macy's being Macys.

Maybe a little consideration for the employees

You cannot compare retail to first responders, seriously ? How about Macy’s shows a little consideration for their employees and have them enjoy Thanksgiving with their families. And, no, the customers that came in on Thanksgiving we’re only... — read more

Who wants to bet?

Employee First

I also feel Macy’s is no longer what the store was. Very sad. We are now on the same tier as discount stores, no prestige in any way shape or form. Opening Thanksgiving is absolutely a nightmare, Macys should think of their employees first, but we... — read more

Another Thanksgiving shot to Hell

I hope this is really anonymous or I'll probably get fired for what I'm about to spew. I just sacrificed another Thanksgiving in order to sell c-ap to foreigners that they will get for free with the rebate. Even though it's free they still want to... — read more

Smaller than 25. Million doors.

Kudos to all the stores who have set up for Christmas (under 25 million) We don’t get the recognition that 25 and up get. NewYork forgets we exist when they give out those awards. We never get our deliveries in time to even qualify. We get bare... — read more

How to spot which stores are going to close

This company is going to stay in business, just not with the current number of stores. Senior leadership has repeatedly stated that the optimal store count is closer to 500 than today's 600+ locations. Macy's has a lot of good things going for it... — read more
